I ended up watching it go around in a circle for a good 5 minutes trying to figure out wtf was happening, and then I just got hypnotized

The top thread (The one on the needle) gets caught by the loop and then gets spun in a circle to twist with the bottom thread so it doesn't come undone.

the needle and the wheel are side by side, not in direct line of eachother

Would be more accurate to say "How a sewing machine needle works"since this isn't actually how a regular needle works.

Damn that's so cool. I'd always wondered how it worked. I thought it just poked holes in the damn article of clothing being sewn.

Not that mind blowing if you have ever used and had to fuck with a tangled sewing machine. Don't they have home ec in school anymore these days??

Of course they don't, ya can't use a sewing machine on a beaver pelt anyway so why would they.

I was in high school in the 90s and we used sewing machines in home ec. and everyone had to take home ec.

I don't know I guess I'm just shocked at how many people think this is amazing in some way. It's a pretty simple mechanical machine, I mean it's not a car engine or something. Lots of kids acting like its rocket science or something.
